One of the largest ever built, Pazflor FPSO will have a topside weight of 35,494t. It is designed with a processing capacity of 200,000bpd of oil, 150mmcf/d of gas, and a storage capacity of about 1.9 million barrels of crude. Pazflor’s gas/liquid separation system on the seabed is a technological world first.
Total awarded Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the vessel's moorings, hull, and topsides. In turn, Daewoo awarded KBR, the contract to provide topsides engineering, procurement and interface design services for the FPSO.
The Pazflor FPSO is currently under construction in South Korea and will be the first of its kind to process two very different grades of oil. Drilling is scheduled to start in 2009 with oil production in 2011.
